Before the astronauts could
thunder into space they had to learn about the rockets and
capsules they flew. Before the next mission could proceed,
reports and summaries were needed on what happened before.
Locked for years in the national archives or in the hands of a
few collectors, the Meadville Space Center presents scanned PDFs
of original manuals, and reports for Project Mercury, and
Gemini.

Mercury Redstone 4 (Grissom)

MR-4 Post Launch Report
Post Launch report for the flight of MR-4 Liberty Bell 7. There is a star chart diagram as sketched by Grissom.
This is useful for sim programmers to check the accuracy of the field of view through the cockpit window and the
trajectory of the Redstone Rocket.

MA-6 Atlas Test Objectives
Report on the testing of the Atlas used for MA-6. Contains a complete computer simulator dump of an
Mercury Atlas trajectory to orbit. This is very useful for verifying
a launch simulation.
Note data is in imperial measurements not metric.

Wish List

Mercury SEDR 104, SEDR-104-19.
There are two more SEDR-104 handbooks. SEDR 104 describes the operation of the capsule for MR-3, MA-6, MA-7, and MA-8.
SEDR 104-19 describes the operation of the capsule for MA-9.

Gemini Operation Handbook.
The Gemini Computer Manual is a subsection of the Gemini Operation Handbook for GT-10
(Young-Collins). The Familiarization manual tell me how the Gemini s/c was built the Operation Handbook will tell
me how to operate it. I believe there is one for each mission, any of them would be appreciated.

GATV (Gemini Agena Target Vehicle)
Need a technical summary of the GATV. Currently there is a lack of hard information on physic data, electrical/hydralics systems
and thruster data (roll, pitch, & yaw).

Mercury Control
Need a good technical description of Mercury Control and each station.

Gemini Control
Need a good technical description of houston's mission control room as configured for Gemini and each station.
Also the old Mercury Control was used for Gemini 3 and a description of its modifications would be good. Last
the dual flight of Gemini 7/6 used a combination of the MOCR and the older Mercury tracking network, any description
of this would be appreciated.
